The death of the Internet and Amazon. I am a member of Amazon Prime. But I no longer know if I can trust Jeff Bezos or Amazon or even the Washington Post. My faith in my fellow man has crumbled. Is there no true love anymore, no true faith? -------- -------- Jeff Bezos' Alleged Secret Relationship Revealed Hours After Announcing Divorce by Lena Grossman | Wed., Jan. 9, 2019 5:58 PM Jeff Bezos reportedly has a new love interest in his life. According to multiple reports, the Amazon CEO has been secretly seeing former Good Day L.A. co-host Lauren Sanchez. The news of their alleged relationship comes just hours after Bezos announced that he and his wife MacKenzie Bezos were getting a divorce after 25 years of marriage. "We want to make people aware of a development in our lives. As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends," the Washington Post owner said in a statement. It continued, "We feel incredible lucky to have found each other and deeply grateful for everyone one of the years we have been married to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again. We've had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursing ventures and adventures." Page Six reports Bezos and Sanchez became acquainted through her husband, Patrick Whitesell. He's the co-CEO of the major Hollywood agency WME. Jeff Bezos, Richest Man in the World, Getting Divorced After 25 Years: What's at Stake According to the publication, Whitesell represents some of the biggest names in the industry, including Matt Damon, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Ryan Reynolds, John Krasinski and Michelle Williams. The Hollywood Reporter also confirms their relationship and reported that the Whitesells were regulars at Bezos' Seattle-area home. Bezos, Whitesell and Sanchez were all photographed together in 2016 at a party for the film Manchester by the Sea. Whitesell and Sanchez apparently separated just recently. A source told Page Six the couple "officially separated in the fall." They got married in 2005 and have two children together: a 10-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. She also has an 18-year-old son from her first husband, former NFL star Tony Gonzalez. Sanchez runs her own company called Black Ops Aviation, which is an aerial filming company. She is a helicopter pilot and has worked on films such as Dunkirk and Miss Bala. The 49-year-old business owner also worked on a few videos for Blue Origin, which is Bezos' aerospace company. The tech giant and MacKenzie have four children together. At a net worth of over $136 billion dollars, Bezos is the richest man in the world. Forbes' Assistant Managing Editor Luisa Kroll told E! News how much is at stake in their divorce. "95 percent of his fortune is tied to Amazon stock. So his fortune goes up and down with the e retailer," she explained. While he also heads Washington Post and Blue Origin, Amazon remains the true epicenter of his wealth because "nearly almost all of [his assets are] tied up" in the online retail company. So what does MacKenzie get when all is said and done after being married to the richest man on the planet? "My assumption, especially since they live in Washington state where property is split between husband and wife, my assumption is that she is going to get a significant amount of shares," Kroll told us. The Forbes editor predicted MacKenzie will "get shares in the company" because Bezos' wealth is tied in directly with Amazon stock. Kroll believes the shares will be in her name, but he will "probably still be voting with them." Even in MacKenzie gets 50 percent of the shares, she would still be one of the wealthiest people in the world. Kroll explained, "If she were to get half, which is within the realm of possibility, she would be the 5th richest person in the world. She would by far be the richest woman in the world." If so, she would surpass Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page. Neither Bezos nor Whitesell has commented publicly about their rumored relationship. | |

Unless I'm way off then this divorce has the potential to cripple Bezos and Amazon because if what I have read is accurate then she would be entitled to half of his fortune and since we are saying that it is all tied to Amazon than by extension she would become an equal owner of Amazon. Now imagine a seriously pissed off woman who wants to get revenge on her ex who she has recently found out has been cheating on her for years and she really doesn't need to be a billionaire than she could really do some damage. She could sell all her shares at a major loss dropping the price of the overall stock and allowing someone on the outside to make an hostile takeover of Amazon. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

No doubt the settlement will include a clause forbidding any further action that could damage Bezos and/or Amazon. | |

There might be pre-nups and post-nups and other legal documents. The details of the divorce settlement will probably never be publicly disclosed. And since a good part of the settlement to the wife will almost certainly be Amazon stock, it would be crazy for her to drive the stock price down, because it would be shooting herself in the foot, no matter how angry she might be. The news announcement states the wife will be active in Amazon affairs, presumably because she is such a large stakeholder. So she should continue to be, as she already is, one of the world's richest women. | |

^^I can't see how any settlement would include anything like that because since there is no pre-nup then the only thing that could alter what his ex-wife gets is where they file for divorce. ^As far as I know there is no pre-nup so Jeff is Shit out of Luck. She could sell most of her shares in Amazon at a serious loss thereby screwing her ex-husband over and still be at least a multi-millionaire if not multi-billionaire from the sale and whatever stock she has kept. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

According to this CNN article dated yesterday, it's not known at this point whether or not there is a pre-nup or post-nup and Bezos owns 16% of Amazon, at most, she would own 8%, which is hardly a controlling interest. She could certainly vote with her shares differently than her ex would like, but the "this is going to change Amazon completely" speculation seems unfounded: https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/10/tech/jeff...ce-amazon/index.html | |

The thread title: "The death of the Internet and Amazon" was meant as hyperbole. Neither Amazon or the Internet are dying. But sometimes people (at PU or elsewhere) seem to take me literally, and are angry at my jokes (or what I meant to be jokes). | |
